Here is the quote from Hulls:

I have never seen Coach shoot a jump shot. Ever. He would always demonstrate drills and such but he never actually fired it up there. Maybe he did it so we could just get on with the drill because he was always super efficient with practices and what we had to get done…But 4 years and never see him shoot a jumper? Pretty interesting, haha.

Wow. I can't go an entire practice without showing out my shooting abilities in front of my team.

Man, I'd really like have Smith.

But if somehow we can keep OG instead, that would be fantabulous

The real gut punch would be losing both OG and Smith. IU would be severely lacking in the long, athletic wing department.

Sorry if I missed it, but looks like Archie reached out to Romeo on Wednesday.... but so did Roy Williams...

When OG, James, Bryant all decide to stay as well as Moore, Smith, and Al.

I like that Al's committed to IU and is excited about coming here. At the same time, I really don't see why we didn't let him walk. We have an abundance of guards this upcoming year and the 2018 class is loaded with good ones. I just don't see where he fits in.

I'm just gonna assume that Archie knows what he's doing. He could have easily let him walk. Remember that they haven't officially announced anything yet.

He's buying in.

Is everyone so sure Gelon is transferring? If you watch the guard video, there seems to be another player/manager sitting in the background at the end. Looked like it could be Gelon. Who knows if he has a small tweak or something that caused him to sit out.

How does one not just get the itch to go shoot? How can you be around a ball that long and not shoot? Have the resources there and not just shoot around? If I were coach, you couldn't get me out of the gym lol.

Because he was not a basketball player!

[rebelhoosier848891]

Good news on the Durham front! I like his game. Makes me wonder how the numbers are going to work out but I know Archie has a plan. So--how do you pronounce "Aljami"? My pronunciation is..."I'll jammy"'as in "I'll jammy" the basketball!

I have complete faith in Archie. Whatever he does will work

I hate to say it but I see OG and TB leaving and JBJ coming back. Without Moore, I think that leaves us at the total amount of allowable scholarships with no one transferring.

As much as I hate to say it, I think it would be best for a relatively-low minutes-based player to transfer, and maybe go after a grad transfer 'big' ala Max Biedfeldt to help with the possibility of OG and TB gone.

I'm sure someone has said all this...just recently got this app downloaded to my new phone and hadn't taken the time to read the 76 pages worth of posts on this thread lol

I think Archie is in a good spot here.

 

He can tell current players we want you back. WIN

He has 3 capable recruits that would ideally jump at the chance to take an available opening- WIN

 

As long as he isn't in the dark on who is leaving it's a win-win.

 

The Loss aspect of this is on whichever recruit(s) may not join the team. But even then that might not really be a loss to them because they have time to find a better fit.

 

The biggest thing is, I hope no players are stringing CAM along.

Per my sources, he's leaving. Obviously not confirmed though. 

Hard to judge by assuming he's coming back/not coming back based on the video. James has announced he's testing the waters yet he's still working out with the team. Also, he's only allowed to work with a certain number of players per week/day I believe. Maybe Gelon didn't make the cut in yesterday's workout? Just guessing there.

A picture says a thousand words. That's one of the first times I've seen a coach talking to JBJ and JBJ not looking through the coach. He definitely looks engaged in that picture while CAM is talking to him.

When I was at IU, we always knew a player was transferring if they started showing up at the Hyper to play. I knew that Hollowell and Larryn Brooks were transferring weeks before it was announced because they started playing there most days. So if anyone on here is currently a student, watch for that.
